    My New Ride, how does it compare?

    I sold the Fazer and planned to be without a bike for a little while. I was hoping to upgrade eventually to a Triumph, but didn't know how long that would take. Triumphs are not easy to find in Utah. So, just for fun, I started browsing Craigslist and other local places. Miraculously I found...

    New Subaru STi

    Not sure what forum this belongs in, so feel free to move this around mods. Some of us still have a healthy addiction to cages. I, in particular, am addicted to the AWD Subaru love. Subaru just (today) unveiled the new STi sedan. It will be the first time in history that the STi will be...

    Gearing advice

    I'm about to go ahead with a 520 conversion. I'm down to picking out the gearing right now. So far I am going with a Parts Unlimited 15T front steel sprocket, and a DID 520 VM chain. I'm stuck on whether I should get a Parts Unlimited 46T rear sprocket, or the lightweight 45T rear sprocket. I...

    Side-to-side chain play

    I was cleaning and lubing the chain a few days ago. It was nasty out so instead of going for a ride to warm up the chain, I put the bike on the center stand and put it in gear. For safety I sat on the bike, pushing on the handlebars, front brake pressed firmly, clutch in hand. When I was...

    Listen to your bike

    I took a long ride yesterday. On the way home I saw my shadow on the side of the road and saw my plate looked like it was wiggling. I thought, "Does it always do that?" I figured I'd check it out when I got home. When I got home I was pretty beat so I went in, never checking... I got on to...

    Condensed "WTF is wrong with my charging system?"

    I had some issues with my charging system and asked for the forum's help. This is the condensed version of the most relevant replies: How can I test if the charging system is operating at spec?

    Yoshimura S1 Leather Track Pant

    I finally bit the bullet and bought myself some leather pants. I have been riding for too long without any and decided that it was time. I found a great deal on the Yoshi pants at Cyclegear, and got them online. I ordered a size larger, but they fit true to size. I am between 30-32, so I...

    SOLD! TCP Seat Cowl - Black

    The Utah "going for a ride" thread

    I end up going for rides after work all the time, and find myself thinking "I wish I had a riding partner." So, since most of our rides are pretty spontaneous, I thought I would start a thread so that we can let each other know when we'll be going so that we can get together and ride! 07FZ6...

    BT-021 mileage poll

    Well, I thought I would get more out of these than I did. 6K and they are down to the bars. I have no idea how some people are getting 10k+ :confused: I keep my pressure closely regulated, I check every other day. 34F, 36R. I have 6K on the rear tire and 5K on the front. The rear is done...

    Big and long Utah ride, 8/8/09

    I've been wanting to get some of us together and take a nice long ride for some time now. I know lots of you guys need some time to get things lined up so this should be plenty of warning. August 8th, Saturday morning, 10:00 AM. I'm heading out to do one of the finest rides Utah has to offer...

    Damn TPS!!

    I am not a happy rider right now. I took the bike out the other day and I got some really strange throttle action happening. At about 10-30% throttle opening the bike surges/hesitates. The sound coming from the exhaust sounds like crap, and the bike rides pretty unpredictable at that...

    MA, need bike rental

    Hey guys. I'm coming out to MA this summer for the better part of July. Unfortunately, I have to bring my dog, so no Fizzer. Sad, a month without it. So, I know the roads there are awesome, and the scenery is fantastic. I really want to ride out there, but alas, no bike. So, anyone know...

    Match your tires....

    I was running Pilot Road 2 in the front and BT020 in the rear (got the bike this way). The rear died first, naturally, and I replaced it with a BT021. I was riding the mixed set for some time with no noticeable problems. The BT020 was a stone, and the new BT021 was a huge improvement. I...
